The anthemic “Here We Are” is the latest single from Milwaukee-based band The Pulltops. Power-pop and alt-rock inspirations show alongside touches of country rock — complementing lyrical themes of perseverance. A chugging, rollicking guitar-led spirit traverses into the melodic “you and me, never meant to be,” admittances — gearing into a bouncy hook in the “sifting through the ashes,” introspection. The debonair vocal presence and pulsing guitars combine for a replay-inducing charm throughout.
Emphasizing the ethos of prioritizing the journey itself rather than the destination, “Here We Are” continues to showcase the band’s stellar, catchy rock songwriting — evidenced also on previously featured cuts like “With You” and “Make Me Smile.” The duo of Mark Pierret and guitarist Tom Crowell infuse clever hooky traversals with a familiarly melodic vein of pop and rock, which on “Here We Are” shines with an accessible, radiant charm.
